Enable Discord AutoMod

Discord's built-in AutoMod provides essential protection:

  • Filter spam, scams, and harmful language
  • Block repeated messages, mass mentions, and suspicious links
  • Automatically flag or restrict risky behavior

Use Server Verification Levels

Verification levels reduce the impact of raids:

  • Require verified email addresses
  • Set minimum account age before joining
  • Enable phone verification for high-risk servers

Recommended for medium to large communities.

Limit Permissions Carefully

  • Restrict @everyone permissions
  • Disable mass mentions for regular members
  • Grant moderation permissions only to trusted roles

This minimizes damage if a single account is compromised.

Slow Mode & Rate Limits

  • Enable slow mode in public channels
  • Limit how frequently members can send messages
  • Temporarily increase limits during suspicious activity

Slow mode is one of the fastest tools to stop active raids.

Use Trusted Moderation Bots

Additional protection can include:

  • Anti-spam and anti-raid bots
  • Automatic role assignment with delay
  • Join monitoring and alert systems

Only use trusted and verified bots with minimal permissions.

Raid Response Plan

Prepare your team for emergencies:

  • Lock affected channels immediately
  • Remove dangerous permissions
  • Kick or ban raid accounts in bulk
  • Review audit logs after the incident
Security tip: Most raids succeed due to weak permissions or missing AutoMod rules. Regularly review your settings, because prevention is always easier than recovery.
